Chapter 2: Night

Lao Ma was stunned for a moment when he saw me eating zombies, and then continued to eat the bagged food in his hand as if nothing happened, and muttered while eating: "Eat more...... Eat more...... I'll be a zombie in a while, and I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anymore......"

Hearing Lao Ma say this, I smiled and said, "Hehe! Then you quickly turn into zombies, so that you can catch humans with us and eat them! ”

If I had heard this, Lao Ma would have been stunned for a long time with his eyes wide open and his mouth open, but now he no longer seems to be surprised by what I said, and still gulps down the food in his hand. After eating, I opened another bag and continued to eat in large gulps.

"Hey, old horse! Aren't you afraid of dying if you eat so much? I asked, looking at the old horse that looked like a hungry wolf.

"Death? I'm still hungry, I'm not going to die! The old horse replied as he ate.

"Cut! Do you want to eat more than I do? I pouted and said, "I'll tell you, who eats more than me...... I've never seen anyone eat more than I do! With that, I shoved the last piece of the zombie's corpse into my mouth.

Swallowing the zombie meat in his mouth, the old horse also finished the bag of food in his hand. He pulled another bag of food out of his backpack. I hurriedly snatched the food from him and said angrily, "Don't eat you again!" If you can't become a zombie, drive me there! The way you gobble up your food brings out my hunger! Hurry up and drive us to City Y, I'm going to catch a few humans to eat...... Yes! I'm already hungry! With that, I kicked open the door of the warehouse, pulled the old horse into the cab, and asked him to drive us on the road.

The old horse whispered while driving: "General...... I'm hungry! I'm so hungry that I'm panicking, let me eat some more! I'm afraid I'll faint from hunger and overturn the car......"

I smiled and said, "Okay, okay!" As long as you drive well, I'll feed you! After that, I took out a bag of food from the backpack that the old horse had been holding onto, opened it, took out a piece from it and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Delicious! Delicious! It's actually spicy chicken wings! I haven't eaten spicy chicken wings since the end times! The old horse chewed the so-called chicken wings in his mouth and said vaguely.

"Chicken wings?" I wondered, "Chicken wings...... Isn't it chicken wings? If you eat chicken...... Is it an animal? I don't know if I can eat animal meat? With that, I took a piece of food out of the bag and stuffed it into my mouth. As soon as I put it in my mouth, I felt a disgusting taste fill my mouth......

"Ah...... I vomited ...... out of my mouth and gasped, "It's disgusting!" It's unpalatable to death! ”

"Don't waste it! Don't waste such a good thing! The old horse picked up what I spit out, put it in his mouth, and said anxiously while eating: "Maybe this is the last bag of spicy chicken wings in the world, and you can't waste a piece!" ”

The old horse's behavior amused me, and I laughed, "Haha! Lao Ma, you are worthy of being my general's assistant, and even the good habit of not wasting food is the same as mine! If you had let me know your merits, I would have eaten so many zombies I had killed when I came out of the base...... What a waste......"

As I spoke, I fed the disgusting bag of spicy chicken wings, which seemed to be the last bag in the world, into the old horse's mouth. The old horse ate the chicken wings, as if he had regained his former vigor, and he did not look in a daze, and gradually increased the speed of the car.

At this time, I sat in the passenger seat, and the heron sat in the back seat of the cab. I looked at the low-rise buildings in front of the truck, which was not far away, and I always felt that something was wrong. But I don't know what's wrong.

Soon, the old horse drove the wagon into the pitch-black low-rise complex. The old horse slowed down the speed of the car and whispered, "General, we have entered the suburbs of Y City, and we can reach the city through the suburbs. But there are a lot of zombies in the city, and it's night again, and zombies are more active at night than during the day. ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay! The more zombies, the better! If I can't catch humans, I'll catch zombies and eat them, anyway, I'm hungry now! Hurry up, let's hurry to the city! ”

Lao Ma hesitated for a moment and said, "General, as a human being, can I say a word that a human said?" ”

"Whatever human beings say, you can say whatever you want!" I laughed.

Lao Ma said: "If it is human, they are afraid of zombies, and there are definitely no humans in places where there are many zombies." If humans weren't looking for food, they wouldn't go to places where there are a lot of zombies. There are thousands of zombies in the urban area of Y City, so humans will not easily go to the urban area. According to my analysis, we are much more likely to find humans in the suburbs than in the urban areas. ”

After listening to the old horse's words, I nodded deeply and came to my senses: "Oh! Old horse, what you said makes a lot of sense! I love you so much! After listening to your words, think about my previous encounters with humans...... Sure enough! "Lao Ma said yes, I used to meet Grandma and Brother Yu, a group of humans, in a village far away from W City. Some of the humans encountered in W City are also in the suburbs of W City. The humans I met in the urban area of W City, as Lao Ma said, were all looking for food.

Thinking of this, I shouted, "Old horse, stop quickly, I'll go down and find out if there are any humans!" ”

My shout startled the old horse, and he hurried to a stop. I opened the car door and jumped in, followed by the heron. Standing under the van, I pricked up my ears to listen to the movement around me, and sniffed harder, looking for the scent of people around me......

After the old horse turned off the engine of the car, there was silence all around, and no sound could be heard except for the old horse's heartbeat. Not to mention the movement of humans, even the cries of insects are gone. The current season should be late autumn in human terms, and all insects no longer move and do not make noises during this season. And there was not a trace of human smell in the dead air around them, not even the smell of zombies.

"There don't seem to be human beings...... There are no zombies either...... There doesn't seem to be any living creature in the suburbs......" I muttered to myself and climbed into the cab with the heron, and said to the old horse, "Look for it in other suburbs!" ”

The old horse started the wagon and slowly drove down the street that was almost swallowed by darkness.

I looked at the food in the dark night in front of the wagon, and suddenly realized a problem: the old horse didn't turn on the headlights! That's right, that's what I just thought was wrong! Because my eyes can see clearly in complete darkness, I don't care much about whether things are illuminated or not. Anyway, I could clearly see what was in front of the truck, so I didn't care that the old horse didn't have a driving light.

But now that I've finally found out about this problem, I can't help but feel weird. I turned my head to look closely at the old horse's eyes staring ahead, and I didn't seem to see anything strange. But his human eyes could ...... in the darkness of the night Driving a Truck......

Quietly listening to the steady and powerful heartbeat of the old horse, I secretly said in my little brain: "What does the old horse look like now...... Surely not yet turned into a zombie...... But if he hadn't turned into a zombie, how could his eyes see clearly in the dark? And not only can you see clearly, but you can also drive!

I listened carefully to the sound of his heartbeat, unlike all the human superpowers I have met, he is completely the heartbeat of an ordinary human.

Could it be that he is a zombie with a heartbeat?

Who knows? In short, if he doesn't eat humans, he's not a zombie! Hum!

Soon, the old horse drove the wagon to another place with sparse buildings. I got out of the car and listened with my ears pricked up again, sniffing hard, still not catching any human movement or scent.

"It's strange, not only does it not smell of humans, but it doesn't even smell of zombies...... What's going on here? I muttered quietly.

The old horse came to my side and whispered, "General Prototype, I think we should go to the downtown area of Y City...... I feel like there's nothing in the suburbs. ”

I glared at him and said angrily, "Didn't you tell me that only humans exist in the remote suburbs?" Why go to the city again? Aren't you afraid of thousands of zombies anymore? ”

The old horse said helplessly: "Who is not afraid of zombies? Am I running out of food? There is hardly any food to find in this desolate suburb......"

I waved my hand and smiled, "No food?" Can't you catch a human and eat it in a while? After I finished speaking, the old horse was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

"Okay, okay! Just listen to your trip to the city! I laughed and said, "Let's take advantage of the darkness to rush into the city of Y!" Zombies are mostly active at night, so we can figure out how many zombies there are in Y City, and if there are any powerful zombies...... Let me tell you the old horse, the more powerful the zombie, the better its brain will be! When I catch a terrible zombie, I'll let you taste its most delicious brain! As I spoke, the old horse nodded silently. He seems to have gotten used to saying things like this to me......

Getting into the car again, Lao Ma drove the truck towards the downtown area of Y City. This time he still didn't have a driving light, and I didn't ask him why, except that he was still driving the truck steadily.

The old horse wasn't driving too fast, and I could see everything on both sides of the road. The place we passed was very quiet, and we didn't meet a single zombie......

After a while, we drove into the road where there were high-rise buildings on both sides, and the old horse parked the car on the side of the road and whispered, "General...... The last time I was here, the streets were full of zombies...... Now there is not a single zombie left......"

I was also puzzled, jumped out of the truck and wondered, "Yes! Zombies certainly don't sleep, they all like to come out in the dark in search of food. Because they hate sunlight. ”

After I finished speaking, the heron and the old horse also jumped out of the van. The heron leaned up to me and whispered, "The master is right, the sun during the day makes the heron's eyes so uncomfortable...... It's still night! There is no dazzling sunlight, and you can see everything very clearly. ”

The old horse ignored my conversation with the heron, and he walked towards a building on the side of the road with small steps that barely made a sound.

I followed him to see where he went, only to see him pointing to a supermarket sign and whispering, "General, we used to want to go to this supermarket several times to get food, but at that time there were very, very many zombies outside, even if we risked our lives, we couldn't get in." Now there are no zombies here, let's go in and have a look, shall we? ”

"There are no humans in there, what's the point of going in?" I pouted.

"General, I'm hungry! I want to look inside for something to eat! Lao Ma said sincerely.

"Okay, okay! Let's go in with you! I shook my head and said helplessly, "Who told me to promise you to protect you and help you find food!" Let's go in with you first, in case there are humans inside! After saying that, I walked in front of Lao Ma and was the first to approach this large supermarket.

Walking in front, I smiled: "The three of us still maintain the formation when we rushed out of the base, I am in front, the old horse follows me, and the heron is broken." Don't worry about killing zombies! Dig out and eat the brain that tastes good, or bite off the head and eat it. If you find a human being, you must catch it alive! It's been a long time since I've eaten the scent of human hearts and other internal organs with body temperature......"

"General, didn't you just eat a few humans who wanted to get a ride before you left W City?" The old horse asked me in a whisper.

I glared at him and said angrily, "Cut!" From W to Y...... The journey was so long, and the journey was so long, I was already hungry! Look at you, and disgusting bagged food to eat. What about me, nothing! Hum! With that, I pouted and approached the lobby on the first floor of the supermarket......
